Welcome! To group 3's page: OUR GROUP CONTAINS:

We're Brianna C!, Jordan R!, Ryan Q!, and Luke J!

:) !


Meet the new group!
We're Neon!, Nitrogen!, Radon!, and Tungsten!


(Brianna C (: ) - Hey everyone im Neon! I'm apart of the family called the Noble Gases.I'm colorless, tasteless, and odorless. I have 10 protons and 10 neutrons. My group number is 18. I also make a lot of your lights work because i give off a redish orangeish light. My atomic number is 10 and Im almost all around you in all the lights.

(Jordan R) Hey everyone im Nitrogen! Im going to tell you a little bit about myself. I am actually all around you! I am even found in whip cream dispensers, air bags, and I am even used to make dynomite and other explosives. I have 7 protons, 7 neutrons and 7 electrons. The class that i am located in is the non metals, this just means that i can not conduct electricity.

(Ryan Q)Hiiya people Im Radon! I am a noble gas. Unfortuntely, I am harmful and can cause cancer. Now here's the thing.. I have high electricity.

(luke J) Hi I'm Tungsten!

Ryan- I hope we learn how to mix chemicals safely.

Jordan- I hope that we learn how to mix chemicals and work with different ingredients. I hope that we actually seem like actual scientist.
I do not want anyone to get hurt if there is any dangerous chemicals.

Brianna- I hope we have to wear those lab coats and goggles so we feel like real scientists. I also hope that we get to mix things that heat when both liquids are cool.

Luke-I hope that we learn to mix chemicals safely and learn when acids equal a substance.






3-3-08 Chemistry!
Today we learned how to write a lab conclusion. We made a web and mentioned all the information that was needed to make a great conclusion for a lab.









Definitions:

Soluble- Capable of being dissolved.
Example: Sodium Chloride is soluble in water.

Insoluble- Not capable of being dissolved.
Example: Sucrose is insoluble in water.

Solvent- A substance in which another substance is dissolved.
Example: Nail polish remover is a solvent because it dissolves nail polish.

Solute- A dissolved substance.
Example: Sodium chloride is a solute in water.

Solution- A mixture in which particles of 1 or more substances are distributed.
Example: Sucrose dissolved into a solute and created a solution.

Dissolve- To pass into a solution.

Translucent- No color.

Chapter 9 notes:
Energy resource- natural resource that can be converted into other forms of energy in order to do useful work.
Nonrenewable resorce- a type of resource that cannot be replaced after it has been used. Fossil fuels and nuclear energy are 2 types of nonrenewable energy.
Renewable resource- a type of resource that can be used and replaced after use. Solar energy and biomass are 2 types of renewable energys.
Fossil Fuels- A type of nonrenewable resource that is formed from remains of ancient organisms. Coal and natuural gas are 2 types of fossil fuels.

Chapter 10 Review Questions:
Question:
1- What is a Calorimeter?
2- What are the units for thermal energy?
3- What is thermal expansion?
4- What is the equation for Heat?
5- How can two substances have the same temperature but different amounts of thermal energy?




Helpful Review Tips:
  • Density- Is the amount of matter in a given space.
  • Volume- Is the amount of space that something occupies.
  • Mass- Is the amount of matter that something is occupied.
  • Thermal energy- The total amount of particles in a substance
  • Thermal expanision-Increase in volume due to increase in temperature.




Notes on energy:

*Energy is the ablity to do work.
*Kinetic energy and potential energy are the two main types of energy.
*Potential energy is the energy of positon of shape.
*Kinetic energy is the energy of motion that depends on mass and speed.
*Some forms of energy are thermal energy, sound energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, and nuclear energy.

Chapter 11: 3-26-08
Democritus:
He believed that eventually you would end up with an uncutable particle. He also claimed that atoms are small hard particlesmade up of a single material. He also believes that atoms are always moving, and from different materials by joining together.

Dalton: He performed many experiments to create his theory. Dalton was against all of Democritus's beliefs. His theory was that all substances are made of atoms. Atoms of the same element are alike atoms of different elements are different.

Thomson: He made only two experiments to prove his theory. Thomson invented the cathode-ray which figured out that atoms could be broken down into smaller parts. The chathode-ray had a positively charged plate and a negatively charged plate and different parts went to different plates showing that they split.





























Chapter 10 Review Answers:__
Answers:
1- A measurement of the specific heat capacity of an object.
2- Units are joules.
3- Increase in volume due to an increase of temperature.
4- Heat = Specific heat capacity.
